It covers every possible field of life. It has been my purpose to record only the most important books in the case of particularly famous men; otherwise, I have tried to note every known biography. I have tried to provide title, author, place and date of publication, and pagination for each item." Bound in the original green cloth, stamped in shiny gold over a black panel on the spine.
